"global cooling continues to do its diabolical work around here"

Here we go again.

What you are experiencing personally is NOT "global cooling", but the turbulence effect of "global warming".

May sound paradoxical BS, but the whole BASIS of the GW theory IS that TURBULENCE will cause more mixing of hot and cool pools of air, sweeping more energy from the warm bits to the cold bits - thus sweeping big pools of 'cold' away to normally 'warmer' spots where they 'warm up'.

Ignorance is bliss, unless it gonna kill ya!
